B. http://www.answers.com/Q/In_which_season_is_the_sun_highest_in_the_sky On the northern and southern hemisphere, the noontime Sun is highest in the sky during summer solstice and lowest in the sky during winter solstice. On the equator, however, we will only observe that the Sun is farthest north during summer solstice and farthest south during winter solstice.
@CheesecakeKitten
these are not seasons! these are days of the year. the equinoxes occur when there is the same amount of daylight and night. the soltices are where the sun "stands still" (original Roman translation reflects this), that is to say when the days stop becoming longer and start getting shorter.
Equinox occurs when the earth passes through the plane of the ecliptic. As for CheeseCakeKitten's question, the answer depends on which hemisphere the observer is in.
